CR Rae writes about U.S. travel, including family-friendly activities. She likes to find unique, off-the-beaten-path things to do in even the biggest cities. Traveling the highways and byways, she finds the dirt on the back roads and the ins and outs of some of the most fun and interesting places -- giving you, the traveler, those little tidbits of info to get the most from your travels.

Bring your chairs, blankets and get there early to claim you spot to watch the more than 60 balloons on takeoff. You will find plenty of children's entertainment, food, tours, music, fireworks and more. It is a great family event.

There is more at stake than fun. It is a competition...a sport! More than half of the balloons are competing for money. They are shooting for targets, dropping weighted baggies to the target on the ground. Winning can come down to a millimeter.
